The shear strength can become a controlling factor for some configurations
of slabs without transverse reinforcement (i.e. slabs subjected to very
intense distributed loads, foundation slabs, retaining walls, slabs
subjected to concentrated loads in the vicinity of linear supports,
shells in the vicinity of supports, ...)
The Critical Shear Crack Theory, initially developed for the punching
of flat slabs, also allows considering these cases with a very good
accuracy. This model was adopted in the Swiss SIA 262 code (2003 and 2013).
Furthermore, an experimental and analytical test campaign has demonstrated
that shear has a strong influence on the plastic deformation capacity of
members without transverse reinforcement.
Research currently under way focuses on a better understanding of the
behaviour of elements subjected to uniform loading (with a portion of the
load being directly transferred to the supports), the case of concentrated
loads acting in the vicinity of linea supports (capacity of redistribution
of internal forces) and the fatigue strength of bridge deck slabs.
